Johnny Depp Surprises British Classroom

While Disney has created a very successful brand in its Princess line, at least one of the company's young female fans is passionate about another of its iconic characters.

Beatrice, a 9-year-old student at a school in London's Greenwich neighborhood, wrote a letter to Captain Jack Sparrow, the character made famous by Johnny Depp in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie series. The letter made its way to Depp -- who's in England at the moment, shooting the fourth film in the franchise, "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" -- and he made a surprise visit to Beatrice's school, according to BBC News.

A 2-minute clip of his in-character visit (below) has made it to the Internet, but reportedly he spent 15 minutes in all with Beatrice and her classmates. And though the reason for Beatrice's letter was to seek Captain Jack's advice on staging a mutiny against her teachers, Captain Jack went against his renegade principles, diplomatically recommending to Beatrice that a mutiny would probably get her into trouble.

Here's a glimpse of the event, captured by what seems to be a cell phone camera.

I love it! lol

I wonder if Russell Brand is really in it playin his brother. I think that might be stupid. A lot of yanks thought he was just an elaborate Jack Sparrow impersonator when he came out over here anyway.

He's become so pathetic to me since supporting Polanski and doing Pirates 4. How desperate can he be? This is just embarrassing.

These types of things are the only reason why I might occasionally daydream about being a celebrity. It would be incredible to be able to give both kids and adults a nice memory for life and put a smile on their faces just by showing up and talking to them for a bit. For kids especially it must be pure magic!

He had to get the undergroud and 2 buses to get to her school.

None of the passengers batted an eyelid either.

Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

I thought the same thing but by the time he got there all my supervisors would already be dead and I'd be in prison. sad

I don't believe he is desperate. He just really enjoys plaing Captain Jack. nod

I love how neither of you picked up on the real issue there. HE SUPPORTS A RAPIST.
